I've been experiment with non-traditional Susan compositions. This is the first one I felt happy with so much so I'm willing to blog it. Normally, I don't crop in my still lifes. This whole idea of cropping is really a "shake-up" for my world of paint - I know I'm pathetic. And!,... look at all that negative space. I'm still using my favorite painting tool = palette knife and I'm loving this 8"x8" format.

I LOVE the cropping/negative space here!!!
what prompted the crazy and wild shake-up??
Hello Karen, well I'm just tired of being soooooooo careful with everything. Hope we can urban paint again real soon. S
Excellent! I feel like roasting some beets and maybe making a radish salad with lemon and a good olive oil.
Hey Sam, sounds yummy. Guess I'll do the same with the remains of my still life.
I love the square format Susan, which I use frequently too. A little difficult to adjust to at first, but think you'll really like it later on. Like your cropping - very interesting how you honed in. Great work!
Susan, I love the composition and the color compliments . The cropping really works. Thank you for sharing.
Susan, I love your beets! The composition, color, everthing!!
Gorgeous painting!
